Addressing WoS Quality Criteria: Evidence on Publishing Volume, Continuity and Annual Publication Timeliness, Scholarly Content, Peer Review and Editorial Oversight, English-Language Accessibility, Content Availability, Persistent Identifiers and Bibliographic Traceability, 2020–2026 — L'Europe Unie / United Europe (Paris)

L’Europe Unie / United Europe (Paris): Evidence Portfolio Addressing Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection Quality Criteria on Publishing Volume and Continuity, Scholarly Content, Peer Review and Editorial Oversight, English-Language Accessibility, Content Availability, Persistent Identifiers and Bibliographic Traceability, 2020–2026

This evidence portfolio documents the publication record, scholarly content, editorial standards, international accessibility and persistent-identifier infrastructure of L’Europe Unie / United Europe (Paris) for the period 2020–2026. Founded in Paris in 2007, the journal publishes peer-reviewed research in European Studies, International Relations, Contemporary History, Political Science, European Law and Security Studies.

The verified 2020–2025 corpus comprises 8 numbered issues and 111 scholarly contributions:

99 main-section articles,

eight prefaces, introductions or conclusions, and four scholarly book reviews.

72 articles appeared in the 5 issues assigned to 2023–2025, demonstrating substantial recent publishing volume and continuity.

All 99 main-section articles have individual records in the Central and Eastern European Online Library (CEEOL). CEEOL provides 107 individual bibliographic records for the documented corpus. According to CEEOL language metadata, 86 of the 99 articles, representing 86.9 per cent of the article corpus, are published in English. Complete issue PDFs provide access to the remaining documented contributions.

The portfolio identifies 8 issue-level DOIs and 10 individual-contribution DOIs registered through Crossref for SSRN records. These persistent identifiers complement the journal’s complete issue archive, external catalogue records, issue pagination and bibliographic metadata. Together, these elements facilitate the identification, retrieval, verification and citation of the journal’s scholarly content.

The journal’s publicly available editorial procedures specify editorial screening, double-blind peer review by at least two independent scholars, revision procedures, conflict-of-interest rules, authorship requirements, corrections, retractions and appeals. The same peer-review requirements apply to submissions involving members of the editorial board. The journal operates according to a Diamond Open Access model, without publication charges for authors or access charges for readers.

The documented publications demonstrate a coherent scholarly focus on European integration, the external relations of the European Union, European institutions, contemporary European history, diplomacy, enlargement, neighbourhood policy, hybrid threats, disinformation, democratic resilience, European security, human rights, artificial intelligence, digital governance and European law.

This evidence portfolio directly addresses relevant areas of the Web of Science Core Collection journal-evaluation framework, particularly

publishing volume and continuity,

scholarly content,

peer review and editorial oversight,

English-language accessibility,

content availability,

bibliographic accuracy,

persistent identification and

scholarly traceability.

L'Europe unie does not claim that the journal has already been accepted for Web of Science Core Collection coverage.

The portfolio provides direct and verifiable evidence of publication volume, continuity, annual publication timeliness and regularity, scholarly content, peer review and editorial oversight, English-language accessibility, content availability, persistent identifiers and bibliographic traceability.

Complementary evidence addressing additional Web of Science Core Collection evaluation dimensions is preserved in separate DOI-bearing Zenodo records within the same dedicated community, “Indexing, Research Impact, Internationalization & Editorial Quality: L’Europe Unie / United Europe Journal (Paris).”
